Balancing Economic Sustainability with Densification: A Case Study of Dhaka

Economically sustainable urban residential neighborhoods are characterized by adequate provision of physical infrastructure including transport facilities and utility services. The built urban fabric of residential areas of Dhaka has been undergoing densification operation over the past decades without considering the physical infrastructure capacity of these areas in terms of accessibility and provision of transportation and utility services. This intervention eventually exerted pressure on the existing infrastructure and caused negative externalities like traffic congestion, pollution, and water clogging. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the impact of densification on residential areas of Dhaka through the lens of economic sustainability. Seven residential areas from Old and New Dhaka that underwent various degreesof densification were selected as the study areas. Primary data was collected through a random sampling household questionnaire survey, fieldwork, and informal qualitative interviews with the residents and officials. Various published literature, newspaper articles, plans, and reports from government archives, Capital Development Authority (RAJUK), Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC), and Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) provided the secondary data. The analysis is carried out in two parts. In the firstpart the impact of densification on accessibility to transportation facilities and utility services is analyzed in terms of availability of the services, distance to the bus stops, average travel time, modal choice, and residents’ satisfaction level. The second part explores the relationship between density and aspects of economic sustainability through Pearson’s correlation test. The findings revealed that public transportation is more accessible in lower-density areas than the higher-density residential areas owing to the road network pattern. A significant service delivery gap except for water supply was observed regarding the provision and quality of gas, electricity, sewerage, and garbage disposal services across all the study areas. Overall, density was found to have a negative association with the accessibility to physical infrastructures indicating that high-density residential areas of Dhaka do not have increased access to public transport and utility services which is contrary to the expected benefits of high-density living. A comprehensive density planning with an integrated sustainable transport plan needs to be formulated where viable public transport like Bus Rapid Transit (BRTs) systems and waterways may mitigate the situation from further worsening.

Large-scale energy storage system: safety and risk assessment

The International Renewable Energy Agency predicts that with current national policies, targets and energy plans, global renewable energy shares are expected to reach 36% and 3400 GWh of stationary energy storage by 2050. However, IRENA Energy Transformation Scenario forecasts that these targets should be at 61% and 9000 GWh to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and limit the global temperature rise within the twenty-first century to under 2 °C. Despite widely known hazards and safety design of grid-scale battery energy storage systems, there is a lack of established risk management schemes and models as compared to the chemical, aviation, nuclear and the petroleum industry. Incidents of battery storage facility fires and explosions are reported every year since 2018, resulting in human injuries, and millions of US dollars in loss of asset and operation. Traditional risk assessment practices such as ETA, FTA, FMEA, HAZOP and STPA are becoming inadequate for accident prevention and mitigation of complex energy power systems. This work describes an improved risk assessment approach for analyzing safety designs in the battery energy storage system incorporated in large-scale solar to improve accident prevention and mitigation, via incorporating probabilistic event tree and systems theoretic analysis. The causal factors and mitigation measures are presented. The risk assessment framework presented is expected to benefit the Energy Commission and Sustainable Energy Development Authority, and Department of Standards in determining safety engineering guidelines and protocols for future large-scale renewable energy projects. Stakeholders and Utility companies will benefit from improved safety and reliability by avoiding high-cost asset damages and downtimes due to accident events.

The Urgency of Returning the People's Consultative Assembly Authority in Determining the Outlines of the Nation’s Direction

The role of the MPR after the amendments to the 1945 Constitution carried out in the reform era has reduced most of the power of the MPR which was originally as an implementation of people's sovereignty, as stipulated in Article 1 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution. As a result, the MPR of the Republic of Indonesia showed that as an permanent state high institution, although they continue to function as ad hoc organizations. Furthermore, the government's development became unsure and tended to be chaotic after the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly abolished the power to define the country's direction, prioritizing only the five-year political program. By placing restrictions on the drafting of these provisions, restoring the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia's power to make decisions, it is hoped that it will become a function of social control of the Citizen. Based on the description above, the following problems are formulated: 1. The urgency of returning the MPR's role to make decisions as a function of citizen social control. 2 Restore the authority of the MPR to make the outlines of the nation’s direction as a guideline for state development. In order to discuss this, a historical approach, a statutory approach, and a conceptual approach are combined with a normative legal research methodology.

STATUS OF INSURANCE IN THE FISHERIES SECTOR OF INDIA

Indias fisheries sector has grown rapidly during the last six decades. Risks associated with capture fisheries include trawler damage or destruction, equipment and gear failure, catch loss, and maritime casualties. With the exception of a few tiny local public sector insurers and cooperatives, neither the federal nor state governments have paid attention to this industry. Since the Insurance Regulation and Development Authority liberalised the insurance industry, about 35 private enterprises have been registered (IRDA). A range of obstacles and concerns usually arise as a result of the adoption of fisheries insurance. Combined with governance reforms, technology has the potential to significantly improve efficiency, transparency, and moral hazard in fisheries insurance.

Effects of Different Root Inducing Agents on Cutting Propagation of Tea (Camellia sinensis)

Aims: In commercial cultivations, vegetative propagation through rooting of cuttings is common, and IBA- based rooting hormone is often used. However, due to the need for non-chemical alternatives in organic cultivations, organic rooting substances have become increasingly important. Hence considering this, an experiment was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of different root-inducing agents on the propagation of tea cuttings.
 Study Design: The experimental units were arranged in a completely randomized design.
 Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was conducted in a special project nursery belonging to TSHDA (Tea Small Holding Development Authority) in Beralapanathara GN division of Pasgoda divisional secretariat in Matara, Sri Lanka.
 Methodology: The nodal cuttings were pre-treated with six different root-inducing agents including water (control), Aloe vera gel, coconut water, honey charcoal mixture, potato juice and rooting hormone (0.3% IBA). Each treatment was replicated four times with 20 cuttings in each. Cuttings' survival percentage, rooting percentage, the number of roots, root length and fresh and dry weights of the roots were evaluated during three phases as 2nd, 4th and 6th week. The data were statistically analyzed using SAS statistical package and treatment means were compared using DMRT at 5% significance level.
 Results: The results revealed that there were significant differences between the treatments on cutting performances. The cuttings treated with rooting hormone showed the highest values in rooting percentage (55.8%), sprouting percentage (72.3%), during the 4th week and root length (2.1cm) and root dry weight (0.254g) during the 6th week. Moreover, coconut water and Aloe vera gel showed no significant higher values in most of the measured variables compared to the rooting hormone.
 Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that coconut water and Aloe vera gel can be considered alternative rooting substances to the chemical-based rooting hormone for organic tea cultivations.

Land is the platform upon which every activity of man takes place. Especially in urban areas, man’s activities are many and they struggle for the limited available space. To curtail the rate of chaos and ensure compatibility among the various uses that land is put to, the activation of control mechanism becomes necessary. This study was undertaken to identify the various issues that come with development control in urban areas using Uyo Capital City as a case study. Data for the study were obtained from the staff of Uyo Capital City Development Authority and some identified property developers. Findings revealed the major problems of the area as: flood, erosion menace and poor solid waste management. The study highlighted the benefits of development control to include orderliness, safety, beauty and convenience. From the study also, Zoning Regulation has been found out to be the major tool used in controlling physical development in the study area. Other tools used include building code, subdivision and Environmental Impact Assessment. Major challenges faced by Uyo Capital City Development Authority in its task of controlling and managing the area are; noncompliance by property developers with building regulations, corruption and lack of effective monitoring mechanism. The study recommends that developers should always obtain approval for every building project, that charges for approval should be brought to the barest minimum and that there should be effective monitoring mechanism in place to enforce compliance with the laws.

Analysis of Trend in Meteorological and Hydrological Time-series using Mann-Kendall and Sen’s Slope Estimator Statistical Test in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria

The monthly, seasonal, annual, and decadal trends of seven hydro-meteorological variables were analysed for stations in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, controlled by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) and the Cross River Basin Development Authority (CRBDA) from 1972 to 2021. At the 5% statistical significance level, the non-parametric Mann-Kendall and Sen's slope estimator techniques were used to detect if there was a positive or negative trend and the magnitude of the trend in hydro-meteorological data. In the present study, there was a significant statistically increasing (positive) trend in mean seasonal and annual rainfall, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and runoff. However, there was a significant statistically decreasing (negative) trend in average annual relative humidity, solar radiation, and potential evapotranspiration. The magnitudes of the trends were 19.39mm/year, 0.0314oC/year, 0.013oC/year, -0.104%/year, -8.78MJ/m2/year, -1.440mm/year, and 0.028m3/s/year for annual rainfall, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, PET, and runoff, respectively. The rising trends in precipitation, temperature, and runoff in this research area show that this region is subject to climatic variability. The results of the Mann-Kendall and Sen's slope estimator statistical tests revealed the consistency of performance in the detection of the trend for the hydro-meteorological variables.

What drives small and medium enterprises to establish and terminate banking relationships?

PurposeThis paper investigates the factors crucial for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in establishing business relationships with banks in Pakistan.Design/methodology/approachTo investigate how SMEs select banking relationships using criteria, such as decision factors, decision-makers, and decision processes, a comprehensive literature review was used to classify SMEs' decision factors for bank selection. A survey questionnaire was distributed to 200 SMEs, randomly selected from the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority database in Pakistan. Probit/Tobit model is estimated to explain the behavior of SMEs.FindingsThe results reveal that SMEs consider a bank's Reputation, Price, and Location essential while establishing bank relationships. SMEs tend to terminate relationships with banks when the Price and Location of the bank are considered essential factors in the relationship with the banks. Price and Location are necessary for SMEs to reduce banking relationships. The SMEs also tend to reduce if they get attractive offers, or the SMEs are recommended to make a banking relationship. This study also provides intuitions for bank policymakers to design policies to retain SME customers and attract new business relationships.Practical implicationsThe research emphasizes the importance of competitive and transparent pricing strategies in designing products for SMEs. Banks must prioritize their Reputation and credibility to attract and retain relationships with SMEs.Originality/valueThe study attempts to provide evidence on the SME-Bank relationship focusing on the factors that are crucial for SMEs to decide while establishing business relationships with banks. Also, most of the related literature focuses on developed countries; this research adds to the literature on SMEs' behavior, particularly in a developing country's context.

Ascertainment of Hydropower Potential Sites Using Location Search Algorithm in Hunza River Basin, Pakistan

The recent energy shortfall in Pakistan has prompted the need for the development of hydropower projects to cope with the energy and monetary crisis. Hydropower in the northern areas is available yet has not been explored too much. Focusing on the sustainable development goal (SDG) “Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy”, thirteen proposed sites were selected from upstream to downstream of the Hunza River for analysis. The head on all the proposed sites was determined by taking the elevation difference between the proposed turbine and the intake at all sites. The discharge on all proposed ungauged sites was determined using ArcGIS for watershed delineation and the area ratio method along with Soil Conservation Service–Curve Number (SCS-CN) by using gauged data of Hunza River provided by Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) Pakistan at Daniyor bridge Gilgit, Shimshal and the Passo tributaries of Hunza River. The Location Search Algorithm (LSA) approach used a multi-criteria decision-making tool (MDM) to make a decision matrix considering the location and constraint criteria and then normalizing the decision matrix using benefit and cost criteria, the relative weights were assigned to all criteria using a rank sum weighted method and the sites were ranked on the basis of the final score. The results revealed that Hunza River has a significant hydropower potential and based on the final score in the LSA approach, proposed site 13, site 4 and site 9 were concluded as the most promising sites among proposed alternatives. The proposed methodology could be an encouraging step for decision makers for future hydropower development in Pakistan.

The Effect of Profitability, Capital Intensity, Company Size, Institutional Ownership, and Corporate Social Responsibility on Corporate Tax Avoidance

Tax-related state income plays a significant part in funding state spending. The government is working to maximize tax income, but tax avoidance practices have prevented it from reaching. The effective tax rate (ETR) was used in this study to calculate tax avoidance. This study aims to gather empirical data on the relationship between tax avoidance and variables such as profitability, capital intensity, company size, institutional ownership, and corporate social responsibility. This study was done at mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2017 and 2021. From the tax perspective, the mining industry contributes so much to the national economy that it receives comparatively little oversight, resulting in unethical behavior such as tax dodging. The discussion of tax avoidance is interesting because many mining companies still do tax avoidance, which will impact the interest of the government's development. Purposive sampling was used to determine the sample size, yielding 55 samples. Data were evaluated using multiple linear regression analysis with specific criteria, and up to 11 companies were found to fit the criteria. This study's results indicate that profitability positively affects tax avoidance, while capital intensity, company size, institutional ownership, and corporate social responsibility do not.

Automated code compliance checking through building information modelling

The design, construction and handing over of building projects need to comply with the rules set by the local authorities. However, manual assessment of the drawings and plans against variable and complex sets of rules is quite cumbersome, inconsistent, expensive and prone to human error, resulting in huge delays in construction projects. The aim of this research was thus to develop an automated code compliance (ACC) checking process using building information modelling (BIM). The drawbacks of manual code compliance were assessed through a review of the existing system. These were confirmed by 15 interviews with officials of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) in Pakistan. Feedback on the newly developed ACC system with BIM integration was sought through 30 interviews with customers and CDA employees. While the new programme of the code compliance reduced the time involved from 1 week to 6 h, customers were concerned about the additional expense of engaging an architect to develop a complete set of BIM models. ACC and BIM integration in local municipalities should raise the profile of Pakistan in industry innovations and pave the way to meeting several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Assessment of Urban Growth and Ecological Sustainability: Insights from Mumbai, India

This study quantifies the overall impact of urban growth on the ecology of Mumbai by using an Ecological Footprint analysis. Its aim is to help determine the natural resource consumption of existing urban settlements. The objective is to assess the environmental impact resulting from the existing urban layouts on Mumbai's region. The research employs a comparative analysis of footprint and land ratio for different urban layouts of Mumbai. There are different layouts in Mumbai, primarily by MHADA (Maharashtra Housing and 10 Development Authority) & private builders. Footprints and land ratio of these layouts are calculated as per the Development Control Rules of Mumbai. The results are referred to as footprint per capita and land ratio required for the layout. The land ratio is the ratio of land required for the building's total footprint to the actual built-up area of land on which the building is erected. The land ratio is directly proportional to the quantity and type of material used for building. The land ratio required in case of MHADA (Maharashtra Housing and Development authority) layout is almost double than layout by private builders as much more material quantities is required in case of MHADA layout due to more no buildings, and extra FSI utilized i.e., FSI of 2.50 as against 1.33 for private layout. Hence, layouts like private builders shall be preferred for Mumbai city to achieve the region's environmental sustainability.

Transmission of yellow fever vaccine virus through blood transfusion and organ transplantation in the USA in 2021: report of an investigation

In 2021, four patients who had received solid organ transplants in the USA developed encephalitis beginning 2-6 weeks after transplantation from a common organ donor. We describe an investigation into the cause of encephalitis in these patients. From Nov 7, 2021, to Feb 24, 2022, we conducted a public health investigation involving 15 agencies and medical centres in the USA. We tested various specimens (blood, cerebrospinal fluid, intraocular fluid, serum, and tissues) from the organ donor and recipients by serology, RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, metagenomic next-generation sequencing, and host gene expression, and conducted a traceback of blood transfusions received by the organ donor. We identified one read from yellow fever virus in cerebrospinal fluid from the recipient of a kidney using metagenomic next-generation sequencing. Recent infection with yellow fever virus was confirmed in all four organ recipients by identification of yellow fever virus RNA consistent with the 17D vaccine strain in brain tissue from one recipient and seroconversion after transplantation in three recipients. Two patients recovered and two patients had no neurological recovery and died. 3 days before organ procurement, the organ donor received a blood transfusion from a donor who had received a yellow fever vaccine 6 days before blood donation. This investigation substantiates the use of metagenomic next-generation sequencing for the broad-based detection of rare or unexpected pathogens. Health-care workers providing vaccinations should inform patients of the need to defer blood donation for at least 2 weeks after receiving a yellow fever vaccine. Despite mitigation strategies and safety interventions, a low risk of transfusion-transmitted infections remains.

Landslide susceptibility zonation of a hilly region: A quantitative approach

Categorization of landslide susceptibility holds great significance in hilly regions as it is one of the regularly occurring natural hazards that brings massive devastation to life as well as property. Detection of such landslide susceptible areas is regarded as a useful input for policymakers who plan various developmental activities in those areas. The present study considers Pabbar Catchment, located in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India as the study area and prepares a Landslide Susceptibility Map (LSM) for it using the Frequency Ratio (FR) technique. Eleven geo-morphological aspects of the catchment called ‘causative factors’ were used in thematic form for building the LSM. Being a quantitative method, FR functioned satisfactorily as the prediction accuracy came out as 0.825 in the Area Under Curve (AUC) of the Receiver Operation Characteristics (ROC) process. Approximately 7.48% of the geographical area from the catchment falls under the ‘very high’ landslide susceptible zone, 37.31% under the ‘high’ category, whereas 35.34% of the area comes under the ‘moderate’ susceptible zone. The results shall be advantageous for similar kinds of investigations as well as for planning and development authorities.

Energy Consumption on Farm Automation: Case of Paddy Plantation

Rice farming is one of the most energy-intensive production systems. Energy is becoming a critical factor that requires special attention to maintain efficiency. This study aimed to identify the introduction of automated systems and determine the energy consumption of automated systems in paddy plantations. The research covered Muda Agricultural Development Authority (MADA) areas, a major paddy planting area in Malaysia. Observations and interviews were conducted with selected farmers to obtain detailed data on energy consumption. The paddy planting process consists of nine steps: soil compatibility, condition of paddy fields, soil preparation, planting process, fertilisation, water management, pest control, harvest, and paddy handling. Nevertheless, as an automation system, drones were the only technology used in MADA areas (Region II). The harvesting process consumes the most energy during paddy planting, with an average value of 238.17 MJ, followed by the paddy handling process at 74.34 MJ. By using more powerful automation systems, farmers can reduce dependence on energy and increase yield efficiency. Greater engagement and impressive contributions are needed to enhance the yield and resilience of the agriculture sector.

ANALYSIS OF IMPACT OF RAINFALL AND TEMPERATURE VARIABILITY ON MALARIA INCIDENCE IN YAMALTU/DEBA LOCAL GOVERNMENT OF GOMBE STATE, NIGERIA.

Despite significant advancements achieved in the last two decades in reducing the worldwide impact of malaria, the disease still poses a substantial public health challenge. Moreover, there exists a growing apprehension that climate change could potentially broaden the regions conducive to disease transmission. This research focuses on investigating the impact of climate variability on malaria incidence in the Yamaltu/Deba Local Government Area (LGA) of Gombe State, Nigeria, from 2013 to 2022. Precipitation and temperature records were sourced from the Upper Benue River Basin Development Authority’s Dadin-Kowa Meteorological station, while confirmed uncomplicated malaria cases were obtained from the Gombe State Primary Healthcare Development Agency.The study entails an examination of the relationship between climate variability and malaria incidence in the study area. Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient was employed for this purpose. Furthermore, time series analysis was conducted to assess trends in rainfall, temperature, and malaria cases. The findings revealed an increasing trend in both rainfall and malaria cases, while maximum and minimum temperatures displayed negligible decreases over the specified period. Notably, correlation analysis unveiled a positive relationship between rainfall and malaria, with an r value of 0.319. Conversely, maximum and minimum temperatures exhibited a strong negative correlation, with r values of -0.152 and -0.534, respectively. Seasonal analysis highlighted a greater prevalence of malaria cases during the late rainy season, specifically in the months of July and October. October emerged as the month with the highest recorded malaria cases, totaling 44,351 cases, while May exhibited the lowest number of cases at 15,488. Given these findings, it is recommended to prioritize vector control initiatives and raise public awareness regarding the effective implementation of intervention measures, such as indoor residual sprays. These efforts are especially crucial during peak periods characterized by favorable weather conditions to mitigate malaria outbreaks effectively.
